A person from East London - definitely not one of those ponces from North or West London who drink wine instead of beer and spend all day talking about their houses.
A real Cockney is someone that all the manc, scouser, geordie and mackem hardmen really want to be but won't admit to. Not only is the Cockney smarter and more
cunning than the northerner, but he (or she) is better looking, sharper dressed, and a much better street fighter. Come down to Upton Park and try West Ham if you think otherwise.
And look, we can spell too!
The typical northern master criminal is someone who thieves car radios, goes shoplifting or robs seven-year old kids at knifepoint. That's about their limit. A good old Cockney blag, on the other hand, involves robbing millions of quid from banks, trains and bullion warehouses. Different league.
So to sum up: the cockney is better looking, better dressed, a better fighter, more intelligent and better in bed than the northerner.
That's why they hate us.

Trapped in a box by a cockney nutjob
Have a cup of tea...have a cup of tea
I'm the hitcher
Let me put you in the picture
Creeping in your room in the dead of night
With me solo polo vision
I'm a cockney geezer...watch me bleed ya,
I knew the ripper, when he was just a nipper,I taught him how to slice
I cut him up a treat.
Pound your banana (two pound your pear)
Pound your banana (two pound your pear)

cutting through the night like a windscreen
wiping you away like rain drops
dont mess with the boys)
Shut your noise!
Coming in strong like a freakshow nightmare
Dancing skeletons - white, blue and yellarins
Moving through the shadows with the speed of a cat
And if you cross us we'll cut ya
And you ain't gonna like that...
I'm bad juju
I use voodoo if I choose to
I harness the forces of evil to abuse you
With power, a polo, an evil magnet
Sucking up your soul
And you ain't gonna like that.
